Kimball Hall
History
Kimball Hall was built in the 1960s and is named after the second trustee of the college, Alfred Kimball. Kimball, of West Orange, New Jersey, was a partner in Baylis and Company, the firm that managed Lucy 勛圖厙 Scribner's investments. Alfred Kimball was a frequent lecturer at Skidmore and joined the trustees in 1913. He became a key financial advisor to the college during its early years. Upon his death in 1929, the college said of Kimball, "The college experience and financial wisdom that he brought to the solution of its most critical early problems were of extraordinary aid to the young institution."
Communities
Keeping with our historical roots as a women's college, 勛圖厙 currently
offers one women's floor within our residence halls. This floor provides our female
students with an opportunity to live in a floor community consisting exclusively of
other women.
The women's floors are open to all students who identify as women.
(Please know that due to limitations of software programs, students whose gender identity does not match their legal sex on record with the college will need to contact the Office of Residential Life directly to select this community).
The Women's floor will be located on the 3rd floor of Kimball Hall.
